Re: [ferret_users] PyFerret issue - problem loading ESMP and CUR2RECT functions

Hi Vincent,

There is a separate ESMP package that is a Python interface to ESMF that needs to be installed. Please see

https://earthsystemcog.org/projects/esmp/releases . The download includes ESMF, but since you already have ESMF, all you need to do is copy the ESMP directory from the download to someplace where Python will find it (such as /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages), then "install" it by defining the environment variable ESMFMKFILE to be the location of the esmf.mk file (such as

/usr/local/esmf-6.2.0/lib/libO/Linux.gfortran.64.mpiuni.default/esmf.mk )

and run the generateESMP_Config.py script from the ESMP directory.

Note that the ESMF folks are working on an improved Python interface called ESMPy. But PyFerret still uses the ESMP package.

Regards,

Karl

Dear users,

I recently installed PyFerret 1.0.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 (phyton 2.7). I successfully added shapefile support (shapefile.py). I also installed ESMF to get access with Ferret to the curv2rect external functions. However, I have the following messages :

WARNING: Unable to import ESMP;
curv2rect* Ferret functions will not be added.
Use curv_to_rect* functions instead

Moreover, I checked and I have the curv2rect.py file in ${FER_DIR}/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyferret/regrid.

Any help would be very appreciated,

Best regards,

Vincent
